the clearing


In a clearing near the school
Tanks stood at the camp,
And call funny concertina
The whole village gathered in a moment.

From noon to sunset
poured accordion
Flushed girls:
"Good as tanker plays!"

Then squeeze aside
The guy with the noise postponed
And kurnosenkoy girl
He jokingly spoke:

"Give me a good-bye
View your wonderful eyes!
Ahead of us parting -
We in the West are leaving now!

And when done with a German
I will go to war,
But I will draw heart
Here on this path.

As you hear the accordion -
This means I'm going.
Just look out the window
And I'll take you with him! "

Long ago drove away tanks,
But this is not to forget.
And since then, on the meadow
Girl walks sad.

Often there she meets
Pink morning dawn
tankman it says:
Maybe a joke, but maybe not in 1944 ...
